Church Services

The church building is open for Sunday Services.

New Arrangements from 19 July You may be aware that there are new freedoms from Covid-19. . .

We are aiming to keep our Sunday morning arrangements as safe as possibly, given local Covid-19 rates, by keeping our existing procedures in place.

Please note:

• We strongly encourage you, as an expression of Christian respect and love for others, to continue to wear a face mask during church Services (unless you have a medical or psychological reason not to do so).
• We are now going to start singing (quietly, with masks) one hymn each service, plus the sung liturgy at Holy Communion.
• You are now allowed to sit next to others. But please only sit next to other people where you have arranged this in advance.
• We will continue to offer the bread, only, at Holy Communion.
• Signing in is NOT compulsory.
• Feel free to chat outdoors, after the service!
• Full details can be found in our revised Risk Assessment
